Dear All,

It is not often that we get to see minimum salary levels and this raises a
questions.

There are some suggestions, indications that bioinformaticians 'fit into',
demand, expect a higher salary than others at an equivalent level.

How would/should one rank the following specialist in terms of salary, given
equivalency?

bioinformatician : computer scientist : crystallographer : mass
spectrometrist : NMR spectrometrist protein chemist (I have listed these
alphabetically)

Thanks in advance,
    alex
